In my latest nail art creation, I went for a look that’s all about contrast and a touch of sorcery. It starts with a deep black gel base, the perfect canvas for a white-gold cat-eye effect that gleams like hidden treasure. Over that, I layered a violet-to-green chrome powder that shifts colors with every flicker of light, giving the nails an almost magical aura.
To add a bit of sophistication, I sealed it all in with a matte top coat for a soft, satin finish. And for the final flourish, I drew delicate, high shine gel lines on top of the matte surface, creating a stunning contrast that’s both subtle and striking. This design is all about mixing textures and finishes to create something truly unique and absolutely mesmerizing.
Here are some photos from the video I posted yesterday on my @nailsdonerightPRO Instagram and a list of products you will need to complete this look. All available from Nails Done Right Professional

Step 3. Apply a good chrome no cleanse top coat and cure for 60 seconds. Here i used NDR chrome top coat, and apply any translucent chrome powder. Here i used Lucky Chrome, a beautiful translucent green chrome powder with violet shifts.
